…when it simply must be handmade…

10% of all October ‘Nida Kay Designs sales will be donated to the Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center in Rancho Mirage, CA. I think back 25+ years to women I knew who died from breast cancer, to the last 10 years or so to present, and the women who have survived because of better diagnostics and improved treatment. I vote for continued improvement!

Along the same line, but moving into the fiber realm, if you’d like to knit a prosthetic breast for women who have undergone a mastectomy, here’s the link to Knitted Knockers Project. http://theknittingexperience.com/knitted_knockers_program/

If you’re a crocheter, here’s a free pattern I found on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/faux-boob

The Knitter’s Haven in Indian Wells, CA, has participated in the Knitted Knockers Project. When I popped in for a quick visit today, I believe I saw a basket with the pattern.
